Finding the Right Showerheads for Your Bathroom
Taking a hot shower… even a cold one, in the morning or after a tiring day of work is one of the best things to exist. And frankly, we would want nothing but this experience to remain untouched, at any cost. Won’t you? A part of keeping your shower experience as perfect as possible is to ensure using the right showerhead – to get the right functionalities along with a perfect amount of drizzle whenever you turn on the shower tap.
While buying the right showerheads for your bathroom is not a big deal, here’s the tricky part – there are so many options. If you don’t have the required understanding of faucets and showerheads, you are sure to get baffled. But don’t worry, with this blog we are here to help you make it easy for you to choose the right showerheads. Take a look at the below-mentioned tips to find the right showerhead for your bathroom.
Types of Showerheads
- Standard Wall-Mount Shower Heads: These showerheads are simple, elegant and are perfect for people who don’t want to overspend. Wall-mounted showerheads are easy to use, hassle-free, and DIY.
- Hand-Held Showerheads: Hand-held showerheads, as the name makes it very evident, offer the flexibility of usage that users might need while bathing kids, pets, or to be able to conveniently wash certain body parts wherein wall-mounted showerheads can’t reach.
- Ceiling-Mounted Showers or Rain Showers: Ceiling-mounted showerheads, as the name suggests, are for the ‘drenched in rain’ kind of experience which people often enjoy. The showers are fixed on the ceiling, right above your heads, to offer an enjoyable drenching experience. However, these showerheads require regular plumbing upgrades.
If you are unsure of which kind of showerhead to go for, you can always ask the salesperson/ clerk to suggest something based on the kind of experience you want.
Choosing showerhead as per the pressure of water
Much like everything else that exists, every showerhead is different. Each showerhead requires a different psi for effective flow. Thus, you must choose the right showerhead as per the pressure of water in your house. If you choose the wrong showerhead, the flow of water will always be inconsistent as opposed to your expectations. To make the right purchase, check the water pressure in your house. Most showerheads need between 40 and 60 psi.
Choosing the Right Spray Pattern
Again, every showerhead, due to its uniqueness, has a unique spray pattern and density. And to find a showerhead with the right kind of settings, figure out the kind of shower you want. You can usually find the following settings on a showerhead: (a) wide – the default option wherein water sprays out of each nozzle constantly, at the same speed and consistency, (b) targeted – water shoots out of certain nozzles, harder than usual; (c) rinse – water pours out of the central nozzle, (d) pulsating – shoots water out of nozzles in alternating patterns.
Summing up, there are a couple of other things such as the energy consumption (water consumption) and the look and style of the showerhead to go with the design of the bathfittings in your bath area that must be considered before making the payment.
